It makes me so happy to see her on this show! I’ve followed her for 6 years when she only had like 1,000 ig followers. She deserves the success.

[@jodiramberg707]

Omg I haven’t laughed this hard for a while!! Negative self-talk? Yeah, not to her face 😂

[@grogsnid8160]

best viola player/comedian I've seen in a long time

[@gpglicious]

🏆

[@dabraze]

Ha! Talk about "damning with faint praise..."

[@zacharythatcher7328]

One of my favorite comedians. When she gets into her flow she absolutely KILLS. And I’m shocked at how quickly she was able to get into her flow in such a highly produced setting. Great to see her getting big gigs like this, because she very clearly deserves it.

[@damiankoch]

I always imagine the performes go to the comment section and read this, so, just to be sure - amazing act, very funny indeed!

[@cir.2042]

You sound so good and comedic timing is perfect, Isabel! Love youuuuu

[@VanRocCarMor]

Once you get into her comedic flow she actually is quite funny. Not for everybody but the offbeat nature of her act was refreshingly original.

[@jackel180]

She was horrifically not funny at all.

Knowing the Courante Suite for solo Cello just makes me love her all the more ❤️

[@rljensen3]

This was different. I liked it though. Very unique and funny 🙂

[@Ryryzaza]

Refreshing! Fantastic!

[@cmel7841]

nicely done, keep the viola, very refreshing

[@montananerd8244]

Omg this is actually incredibly hilarious if you know that viola players used to be (I haven't heard a viola joke in decades) the bass players of the classical world (ie, there are jokes about them à la "blonde jokes"). I honestly kind of expected something along those lines, so this was a fun treat! Lolllll 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@hd-xc2lz]

Please explain the equivalence made between viola play and lack of smarts. Honest request.

[@markdagostino9]

Amazing work! Refreshing :)

[@martindouglass3248]

“He spoke amongst the crying” 😆 The viola segues are elegantly funny too. Great stuff. (And she should definitely ignore the predictable negative comments from all of the people here who think they’re Kid Showbiz. She had a fantastic set - f*ck the haters)

[@OliviaVessel]

absolutely incredible. Isabel is the best!!!!

Different, funny and smart!

[@Ravenelvenlady]

Not since Jack Benny have I seen a comedy act with a classical instrumentalist. Great routine!😄🎶

[@hd-xc2lz]

Said the same above! Of course, she makes quite different use of her instrument.

Isabel's really funny. It's always nice to find a new (to me) comedian...

[@dynjarren8355]

She’s funny but also a great player! Wow! What a strange combination. 👏🏻😊🎃

[@hd-xc2lz]

Shades of Jack Benny? Although.. as I recall, his gimmick with the violin was that he played poorly.

[@dynjarren8355]

Then Holding his stupid Prop Violin. 🎻 waiting for laughs! He was on TV constantly and I couldn’t stand him. I was actually glad when I heard he was dead. So I didn’t have to see him pop up on every damn show like he frequently did.

[@dynjarren8355]

[@hd-xc2lz]

@@dynjarren8355 I never found him funny, but most of his contemporaries adored him. Comedy so rarely transcends generations, much less multiple decades, I try not to judge past comedians by my own taste.

[@olemanshavadoo7893]

The viola made it so she could transition from one topic to another without doing it like Pete Davidson

[@MrNikkiNoo]

Funny lady.

[@hd-xc2lz]

First standup since Jack Benny to make a violin/viola a part of the act?

[@grbiker8278]

Better than Henny, both ways.

[@jonwoodmass2849]

Some clever jokes in there. It started off slow and got better as it went on. Just needs that extra something though.

How do you get two violists to play a minor second? Ask them to play a unison.

[@andgainingspeed]

Henny Youngman one liners but with a viola instead of a fiddle? 🤔

[@SCharlesDennicon]

"I've cheated on you." "Say it again." XD Jesus that chick seems awesome. Talented AND good-looking female comedians are a gem. Like... no, ladies, you don't have to look like and be as vulgar as a dude to be funny.

[@kathleenyvonnewestbrook7307]

Branson Missouri flies out of Springfield- missed flight to Vegas- another fiasco. Uh, oh! Walk of shame with a rabbit fur collar. But, really, the elderly folks in the elevator tried to block the door from shutting eith her arm and ended up in the Skaggs ER with trauma cases from train derailment at SDC Silver Dollar City. Vegan. Get me a lap harp!

Ooooooff!! That was like a series of dad jokes.

[@amymorris2341]

Same, I was thinking, Am I being rude for saying that, but you did.

[@tbwatch88]

again and again, she's clever, not funny. mind you, I like her. she'll be on a sitcom one day. all viola players are second rate anyway. and doubtless she knows all the jokes about them.

[@scholes100]
